Rough mill: This department is responsible for preparing all the parts that are needed to build each project:

Wood storage

• Upon delivery of wood we take time to sort and stack using spacers to create proper air flow allowing wood to breathe until ready for milling which means that the moisture levels in the wood remain consistent.
• Natural woods are stored in the best possible conditions to ensure that they are in peak condition when the time comes to build your furniture.
• All our woods come from suppliers who deliver only the highest quality products.
  
   

Frame and door parts
 

• Working from a list provided from the engineering
  department we begin the process.
• Wood is cut oversized in rough form it is then worked by hand thru a joiner, this allows us to get one side flat which allows the natural stress to be taken out of the wood allowing us to produce doors and parts that will not warp.
• Planning. Now wood is run thru a thickness planner allowing us to have two smooth sides and a piece of wood perfectly straight.
• Rip saw.  At this point wood is run thru the rip saw allowing us to cut various widths needed
  
   

Door center panels
 

• This is one of the most critical parts to be milled as it is
   the most exposed in the kitchen. Matching the wood is
   very important at this point.
• Sizing. Wood is cut oversized in rough form, then worked by hand thru joiner following the same process for frames and door stock.
• Selection. At this point we select matching wood and place together with the ring pattern alternating as to prevent warping which means that the panel will not warp.
• Gluing. Panel is glued, placed in clap and allowed to dry.
• Final sizing.  After dry the final sizing is done.
• Shaping.  Panel is run thru shaper to achieve its final profile.
• Sanding.  Panel is then hand sanded and sealed this is an extra step that will help prevent moisture from absorbing in the wood.
